The Price of a Liu Feng

"Who are you...?"

Zi Ji said vaguely, though she refused to spit out the delicacy in her mouth, chewing, chewing, chewing... her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.

It completely diluted her aura of a seductive royal sister.

Liu Feng made no effort to hide the disgust on his face; the other party's aura was chaotic and predominantly evil.

Intermingled with a thick, bloody stench, he must have taken many lives.

"This Humble One is Underworld Thunder."

Underworld Thunder Douluo performed a salute and sat down opposite them.

Seeing the look on Liu Feng's face, Zi Ji hammered her bulging chest and swallowed the food.

Ignoring the grease on her hands, she grabbed Liu Feng in a hug.

"Little Liu Feng, do you hate him?"

Zi Ji's cheek pressed against Liu Feng's as she giggled.

Underworld Thunder Douluo said awkwardly, "My appearance is indeed a bit ugly, but I come with..."

"Yes, he is not a good person. His aura is evil, and I hate him."

Liu Feng stated bluntly.

Underworld Thunder Douluo's expression became increasingly awkward; if this were an ordinary child, he would have grabbed him by the neck and crushed him to death.

But since he was brought by Zi Ji, he could only force a smile.

Zi Ji kissed Liu Feng's cheek, leaving a mark from her oily little mouth, then shifted to a gloomy expression as she looked at Underworld Thunder Douluo and said:

"Did you hear that? You can get lost."

Underworld Thunder Douluo looked stunned, staring blankly at Zi Ji.

He couldn't react for a moment; was she going to drive him away just because of a child's word of dislike?

"Lady Zi Ji, I am from the Holy Spirit Cult..."

"Get lost! Or this lady will kill you right now!"

Zi Ji slammed the table, her brows furrowed in cold defiance, her pupils constricting, and purple scales faintly appearing on her chest.

She even released her Demon Dragon pressure directly, like an invisible giant hand, gripping Underworld Thunder Douluo.

Underworld Thunder Douluo immediately felt difficulty breathing, yet he dared not tear his face off with Zi Ji.

For one, the Holy Spirit Cult did have some cooperation with the fierce beasts and was eager to form an alliance.

For another, although he was a Titled Douluo, he was far less formidable than Zi Ji.

What he couldn't accept was that while falling out was normal, doing so because of a child's preference was simply too much of a farce!

"Then Underworld Thunder will take his leave..."

Underworld Thunder Douluo conceded with a stiff face, stood up, and left in a sorry state.

Zi Ji snorted coldly again, "Settle the bill!"

"...Yes."

Underworld Thunder Douluo agreed sheepishly.

"Smack...!"

Zi Ji kissed Liu Feng's cheek hard again and laughed:

"The annoying guy is gone, Little Liu Feng, enjoy yourself!"

Liu Feng wiped the saliva off his face with some disdain, but in his heart, he felt a bit more affection for Zi Ji.

Although Zi Ji was lawless, the fact that she made Underworld Thunder Douluo leave just because of his words showed that she definitely valued him highly.

"Sister Zi Ji, I have a new level of respect for you."

Zi Ji hummed and continued to bury herself in her work.

Liu Feng, meanwhile, felt a sense of anticipation; what would Zi Ji give him next?

Grand Auction House.

Zi Ji brought Liu Feng here, intending to sell all the treasures looted from Vina and her group, exchanging them for Gold Soul Coins or jewelry.

The prices were so high that they even approved a private room for her.

Liu Feng was not interested in these things and sank into the sofa for a light nap.

"...Hiss, this is a jade pendant from the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family; it's not easy to sell."

The appraiser gasped, looking at Zi Ji in disbelief.

What kind of background did this woman have? Could she have killed a member of the royal family?

"Can you sell it or not!"

Zi Ji asked impatiently.

The appraiser smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Of course, but the price will be lower. Treasures like these are difficult to sell openly."

"Fine, stop stalling. But if you dare to cheat this lady out of her money, I'll wring your neck!"

Zi Ji threatened.

The appraiser stiffened in fear and offered a sheepish smile.

After counting all the treasures one by one, he provided a quote.

"...The total value is seven hundred and forty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Are you willing to sell?"

The appraiser asked.

Zi Ji frowned slightly. She often engaged in robbery, so she had a good grasp of the value of wealth.

This amount of money...

"How can they be such a bunch of poor ghosts?"

Zi Ji felt somewhat annoyed. She had seen Vina and the others' extraordinary bearing earlier and assumed she had slaughtered a pair of fat sheep!

But she hadn't expected that no one would carry all their wealth on them while heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings.

"Fine, fine, how boring! But I want Gold Soul Coins! I don't want any of those cards!"

Zi Ji waved her hand.

Although the appraiser didn't understand, he agreed.

He glanced at Liu Feng, who was lying on the sofa, and his eyes darted around as he said with a chuckle:

"My lady, if you feel the money isn't enough, the truth is that the real treasure is right beside you."

Zi Ji was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"

The appraiser stroked his goatee and revealed a meaningful smile.

"My lady, if you are willing to part with this young master beside you, I can guarantee he is worth at least three million Gold Soul Coins!"

"!!!"

Zi Ji's slit pupils nearly contracted into lines as she counted on her fingers.

"Yes, the young master likely belongs to the 'Other-people.' At such a young age, his potential is excellent, and he possesses peerless beauty. Three million Gold Soul Coins, paid in full immediately!"

The appraiser said earnestly.

In truth, from the moment Liu Feng walked in with Zi Ji, his sharp eyes had already taken notice!

Zi Ji was already a great beauty, but Liu Feng was even more breathtaking.

If he could buy Liu Feng, his value would be beyond what mere Gold Soul Coins could measure.

Gifting him to certain big shots to be kept as a plaything would surely yield even greater returns.

"Three million Gold Soul Coins...?"

Zi Ji swallowed, finding it hard to believe.

"Yes, the young master's appearance is unparalleled, and he is still a child. This price is very fair."

The appraiser nodded in confirmation.

Zi Ji immediately furrowed her brows and fell into silence.

Three million Gold Soul Coins... Just thinking about all that shimmering gold covering her cave made her tremble with excitement.

But, to sell Liu Feng just like that?

"No... you have to add more!"

Zi Ji clenched her fists, her eyes fierce as she spoke seriously.

The appraiser's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Four million Gold Soul Coins! Paid in full immediately!"

"Deal...!"

Zi Ji hurriedly nodded in agreement, then added, "But you must leave him here for half a day first. I need to let him say goodbye to his friends."

"Easily done, easily done..."

The appraiser agreed readily.

Zi Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Her plan was perfect: once she exchanged all the Gold Soul Coins, she would immediately come back to rob and rescue Liu Feng!

In any case, since Liu Feng was being bought as a treasure, he would certainly not be in any danger.

They had also made an agreement that he wouldn't be lost.

She thought for a moment, then tucked her protective reverse scale into Liu Feng's embrace, letting it merge into his body to ensure nothing could go wrong, while sending him a telepathic message.

"Little Liu Feng, wait here for a moment. I'll be back to take you home very soon!"

She was so excited that her hands were trembling; loving treasure was the nature of the Dragon Clan!

Four million Gold Soul Coins!

She was going to fill her cave to the brim!

Liu Feng had already fallen asleep and did not notice Zi Ji's words.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that he had already been sold off by Zi Ji!

Half an hour later, the Grand Auction House.

"BOOM...!!!"

A massive black dragon descended from the sky, crushing the roof of the building.

Her long tail hung down to the ground, and a pair of cold, ruthless pupils scanned the people inside the Grand Auction House.

Screams erupted all around as a large crowd scattered in a desperate bid for survival.

They wailed and shrieked, fleeing far away from this place.

The interior of the Grand Auction House was in complete chaos...

Zi Ji turned her head and searched for a long time, but she could not sense Liu Feng's aura.

White columns of air puffed from her nostrils, growing increasingly rapid.

"This isn't right... where did little Liu Feng go? How could he just vanish?"

Zi Ji began to panic; had she truly managed to lose him?!
